Man, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Patek Philippe Nautilus 5713 for the longest time. That watch is just something else, you know? But the price tag? Forget about it! So, I thought, why not try to find a decent remake? That’s where the whole adventure began.
First, I started digging around online. I hit up all the usual spots, you know, the big-name online stores and all that. But nothing really caught my eye, and prices were still pretty steep. I needed to find a better way.
Then, I dove into the forums. Oh boy, was that a rabbit hole! I spent days, and I mean days, reading through endless threads, trying to figure out the best place to get a remake. Some of the options were a bit sketchy, to be honest. Lots of mixed reviews, some horror stories, you know how it goes. But I did find people talking about some online stores specializing in this stuff, which seemed pretty legit, but the price was still high, but I found a store named “Chrono24”.
I compared prices. I mean, I really went to town on this. The prices there were all over the place, but I did see some of these 5711 models going for over 63k! But still out of my budget.
So I kept digging. I found out that some folks buy these remakes from what they call “authorized retailers.” They are the official stores, I guess.
I also read a lot about the Calatrava models, like the 5227J-001 and the 6119R-001. Apparently, those are popular choices for remakes, too. People were saying you can find them all over the internet, and some of them are like “original order,” whatever that means. But they still looked pretty good to me!
- I started searching for information about remakes.
- I read forum posts.
- I compared prices on various websites.
- I learned about authorized retailers.
- I discovered the popularity of Calatrava models for remakes.
My Final Decision
After all that research, I finally decided to go to the PP Nautilus 5713/1 official flagship store. It was a tough call, but in the end, I figured it was the best way to ensure I’m getting a high-quality remake without getting ripped off. I placed my order and am waiting for my watch now! I’ll let you guys know how it turns out when it arrives!
